Configuration fields

Basic Information

Credentials

  • In the Merchant Id field, enter the unique merchant Id obtained from the Mastercard gateway.
  • In the API Password field, enter the unique API password obtained from the Mastercard gateway. See Generate Password for API for how to generate an API password from the Mastercard payment gateway.

Rules

  • In the Cards Accepted check boxes, select the credit cards that you accept.

Test the configuration 

We recommend that you test your payment gateway using both your payment gateway's test and production (live) environments.  Once you have completed testing in the gateway's test environment, it is recommended that you perform a test in your live production environment with a real credit card. If there are any differences in the configuration of your testing and production accounts, testing in production ensures your production merchant account is set up properly and can successfully connect to the production environment.

You can use the test card information and testing scenarios provided by the gateway vendor to test your integration. See Mastercard's documentation for details.
